Currently, set-head --auto will print a message saying "remote/HEAD set to branch", which implies something was changed. Change the output of --auto, so the output actually reflects what was done: a) set a previously unset HEAD, b) change HEAD because remote changed or c) no updates. Signed-off-by: Bence Ferdinandy <bence@ferdinandy.com> --- Notes: v1-v2: was RFC in https://lore.kernel.org/git/20240910203835.2288291-1-bence@ferdinandy.com/ v3: This patch was originally sent along when I thought set-head was going to be invoked by fetch, but the discussion on the RFC concluded that it should be not. This opened the possibility to make it more explicit. Note: although I feel both things the patch does are really just cosmetic, an argument could be made for breaking it into two, one for the no-op part and one for the --auto print update. Was sent in: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20240915221055.904107-1-bence@ferdinandy.com/ v4: - changes are now handled atomically via the ref update transaction - outputs have changed along the lines of Junio's suggestion - minor refactor to set_head for improved legibility builtin/remote.c | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ t/t5505-remote.sh | 13 ++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 42 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)
